Book excerpt: This book has been composed from words and ideas of Native Americans: Native Americans who were willing to share personal thoughts and beliefs with the author and through the author, a larger public, during the course of dozens of interviews in homes on the Indian reservations of the Southwestern United States. Like the paintings, the words are a record of personal impressions of an extraordinarily complex heritage. They represent the thoughts, beliefs, and insights of individuals about their own way of life, a way that has survived enemy raids, drought, automobiles and television. Some of the words come from the creators of the paintings, some from younger artists currently working in the Southwest's creative tradition.
